    Young health care worker from Seeley’s Bay praised

    Charlotte Jack isn’t afraid to be empowering and uplifting, values not often seen in a 20-year-old woman.

    Speaking from Carveth Care Centre, a long-term care home in Gananoque where she has worked for the past couple of years as a Personal Support Worker (PSW), Charlotte talks with enthusiasm about her work to help others.

    “I’m passionate about helping to care for people,” says the friendly woman in early 2026. “I’m planning to go to Ghana this October for three weeks with my uncle on a humanitarian mission to administer vaccines and provide healthcare checks. I’m looking forward to it.”

    A Christian who matches her commitments to her convictions, Charlotte is enjoying her work helping residents at the popular family owned and operated home in Gananoque.

    “It’s good,” she says with smile about her job providing frontline healthcare to 104 residents in long-term care. “I really like connecting with the residents and hearing their stories, they keep us on our toes. I also like moving around the home and experiencing different aspects of the job. I’m grateful for good coworkers like Palak and Regan. At some point in my life, I’d like to return to school to study Medical Radiation Technology.

    Known for her patience and compassion towards residents, Charlotte is the home’s Employee of the Month for April 2026.

    Man and his dog bring comfort to Amherstview residents

    Over the last few years, visits to a long-term care home in Amherstview by an elderly man and his dog have generated more than just happiness for the residents and staff who greet them. It brings purpose and meaning to the man and animal who visit.

    “I look forward to my visits to the home with Josie,” says Alan Harrison, an 88-year-old Amherstview man who brings his four-year-old rescue dog, Josie, to Helen Henderson Care Centre three days a week. “If I’m every unable to make it, I miss not going. It’s become a way of life. It’s good for me and Josie.”

    Speaking from his home in late February 2026, Alan was a regular visitor to Helen Henderson where his wife, Jean, resided from 2013 to 2016. After her death, he loved the home and its people so much, he continued to return.

    “I just kept coming,” he says with a kind smile. “It seemed like the right thing to do. Josie is all I have got; I don’t have any family. The home has become my family.”

    Loved by the residents and staff, Alan and Josie’s visits are the highlight of the day for many. The two arrive with a smile and a wagging tail. The handler greets everyone by name, showing patience and genuine interest. Often watching them is Activation Director Donna Joudoin who can’t say enough about the joyful pair.
